After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience.

Even though he was a compelling scene-stealer in Daredevil, Frank Castle/The Punisher has never felt quite right in his own show. Season two will do little to change that impression. Go to Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox 01/23/2019
2.5/5
The show's signature fight scenes are still fantastic, as is the Punisher himself, Jon Bernthal. But something seemed to go wrong in the writers' room this go-round. Go to Full Review Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire 01/22/2019

What makes this season of "The Punisher" work so well is that it feels less like a Season 2 and more like a Season 5, a standalone story in the established adventures of Frank Castle. Go to Full Review Samantha Puc The Beat 07/09/2024
Although [Frank's] relationships are still present in season two, they unfortunately fall by the wayside. Instead, the villains take an unnecessary amount of focus, which makes this season significantly less impactful than its predecessor. Go to Full Review Joseph Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast 01/11/2023
3.5/5
I like the ideas in this season more than the execution. ... The story arcs with Jigsaw and Pilgrim didn't jive in the way the writers wanted, leaving the show without a strong, singular narrative. Go to Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles 03/03/2021

However, the second season is a total insult to the audience. Billy the psychopath is receiving hospital treatment in a first class facility with his own private room. Why is Billy wearing a stupid and cheap plastic face mask when his wounds have already healed? All good actors but the story is just not believable. Of course, they would have Billy escape from hospital. Some of the characters are written as being dumb, especially the police and Billy’s psychiatrist. Don’t waste your time watching. Marvel this was disappointing! See more Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Sep 11 Esta temporada estuvo mejor que la anterior y se pudo conocer un poco más al personaje de Frank. La única pega que le pongo que siguen incluyendo episodios donde no llegan a ningún lugar y personajes que no entran al caso. See more Zein U @ZeinUlhassan Aug 17 This is such a fantastic show!
